    The new server allows access to a verb via it's position in verbs(#obj) but I can't find any way
    to execute that verb via its number.

    (This example is not based on LambdaCore)

    verbs = verbs(this);
    for x in [1..length(verbs)]
      if ($lib:match_verb(verbs[x], "foo") && $lib:match_args(verbs[x], "this","none","none"))

        ... how do I execute verb # x? ...  me:(x)() yeilds a type mismatch.

      endif
    endfor
    player:tell("I don't understand.");

    I know I could set the server option to re-enable the old method, but that doesn't sound like
    the right solution.
